Abstract

A second data transfer line that is coupled to a gate layer of a drive transistor is formed in a layer higher than the gate layer, and a transfer capacitor is formed in a layer higher than a layer having the second data transfer line. A first data transfer line to which a data signal is supplied is formed in a layer higher than a layer having the transfer capacitor.
